Itinerary

Day 1

Journey through Levadia and Arachova, renowned for its vibrant, multicolored carpets, before reaching the enchanting destination of Delphi.

Nestled at the base of Mount Parnassos, between the imposing Phaedriades rocks, lies the Pan-Hellenic sanctuary of Delphi, home to the renowned Oracle of ancient Greece. Delphi held a revered status as the center of the world, with mythological significance as the meeting point of two eagles dispatched by Zeus in their quest for the world's navel. This sanctuary, situated in a breathtaking landscape, served as a cultural and religious hub, symbolizing unity for the Hellenic world. It was also the venue for the Pythian Games, the second-most important games in Greece after the Olympics, held every four years.


During the golden era between the sixth and fourth centuries BC, the Delphic Oracle, conveyed by the priestess Pythia and interpreted by Apollo's priests, reached its zenith. Cities, rulers, and common individuals sought guidance from the oracle, expressing their gratitude through grand offerings and spreading its renown globally. The oracle, believed to have existed since time immemorial, successfully predicted events tied to Deukalion's cataclysm, the Argonauts' expedition, and the Trojan War.


Explore the archaeological site and Museum, home to a wealth of treasures. Notably, the museum houses the unparalleled bronze statue of the Charioteer, a gift from Polyzalos, the tyrant of Gela, in 478 B.C. The statue commemorates his victory in the Pythian Games' chariot race and stands as an exemplary masterpiece in the distinctive "severe" Attic style, attributed to a prominent artist of the time.

Best Honeymoon Ever!!

We took a 10day honeymoon to Athens, Mykonos and santorini and everything was planned perfectly. The itinerary included amazing excursions such as a sailing cruise, caldera hike, tour of the acropolis etc. They were all great and the people working were all so nice. We felt like VIP’s the entire trip. Drivers were planned for us, boarding passes sent to us before the flights. The entire trip was stress free and we had someone in each location to talk to if we had questions. I will 100% be recommending Antelope travel to all my friends and family. Thank you!!!

Planning excellence

My kids (18 & 20) and I had the most amazing 2-week trip to Greece May/June 2023. We were fortunate to have been introduced to Anthony Alagiah, who came highly recommended through a friend and colleague. I’m a researcher by nature, love planning trips and like to make very purposeful choices. What I lacked was local, expert perspective, and felt I wasn’t getting thorough, objective advice from my usual online sources. I was looking for a professional who would work with me to collaborate, share options, and guide our choices. Anthony has a network of colleagues with Antelope Travel and affiliated agencies throughout Greece who gave timely advice and knew what hotels and excursion providers could be relied on for consistent, quality experiences. Our vacation was impeccably planned from the moment we arrived. The communications were excellent not only during planning but while we were in Greece. We had a clear itinerary, with details, contact names and numbers for every step of our trip - everything from start to finish ran smoothly and we felt very well cared for. The hotel choices, tours/guides and restaurant recommendations were excellent. Overall, it was the trip of a lifetime, and the planning from start to finish exceeded our expectations.
